A thermometer graduated according to a linear scale reads a value

{x_0}

, when in contact with boiling water and

{x_0}\mathrm{/}3

when in contact with ice. What is the temperature of an object in

^\circ C

, if this thermometer in the contact with the object reads

{x_0}\mathrm{/}2?

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

Option D (25) is correct because it is calculated using the principle of thermometry for a linear temperature scale.
